Liza Minelli acted the main role in the movie version of Cabaret (which, btw, I just found out, was actually also an ABC production! Not that that has anything to do with this. Just found it funny.). She became quite famous through her covers and original songs.
Here’s her wiki site and you see some old photographs. Plenty of makeup.
